you guys here in Shinjuku today with Sherry on today, we're gonna be testing at one of these.

Gerund

Translating device is nothing new about these, but they have the inventor of the year.

This company Lango go sent this one out to me.

So today I want to kind of put it through its paces.

This video isn't sponsored, so we're gonna do everything we can to see where the true limits off this device is.

I decide to bring Sherry and for this one, because despite being almost native English, he's actually a native speaker of Japanese, does a lot of translation work and everything like that.

So I figured she'd be the perfect person to help us.

So in our test today, aside from pitting it against Google, translate which obviously has the camera function which doesn't so gives Google a bit of an edge.

We're gonna test this with everything we're gonna do Rhetorical questions, colloquialisms, idioms, jokes, double negative.

Let's just jump right in literally just translated this sound entrance like the words at all.

So one thing that it does do really well is simple basic travel phrase I'm gonna have share you be the judge for all of these.

Can you tell me where the nearest permits?

I played around with this with pretty much all the basic sentences and have yet to be able to trip it up.

So we're gonna go straight into something more complicated, but kind of wanna break down complicated sentences into more logical and emotional So logical.

The airline lost my luggage, and I don't have any of my identity Patient with perfect Japanese.

Let's try something a little more emotional now.

You know, I've really been having a challenging time since coming to Japan meeting people.

And I'm really glad that you took the time to talk to me today.

Perfect is just Japanese Translation is off.

But the real challenge of this video so far, though, has been recording this on Shinjuku yeast, which is very loud.

So we're gonna head over to Shinjuku west and continue over there.

So I kind of want to redo those tests with Google translate to see how that plays that Cheri's got my phone.

The airline lost my luggage and I don't have any of my identification with Thistle.

Okay, I'll translator is better than thing.

I want to see how Google translate handles the one this one messed up.

You know, I've really been having a Okay.

First of all the readings, so slow waiting.

The sick first half is very difficult for the translator to understand what it means.

I think there's no clear winner just yet, but I want to try Japanese to English name.

Okay, let's just jump right in several companies in Japan and I'm doing English seminars in English as a translator.

Even with even like you messed stuff in stuff I know along the way and it still caught it.

I think that we should do something emotional in Japanese as well.

When I went to the US for the first time, I had a hard time not speaking English very well.

But I wanted to make a friend by all means.

And I studied English with my host family every day.

And at first I had a very hard time when two of my friends increased.

But in the end, I had a motivation to learn English.

It like it didn't really Well, until the end, it just completely fell apart.

I want to test this against Google, translate and see how well friendly Okay, more than anything, I'm actually just impressed.

That was able to handle the length like the entire time I was like all it's gonna cut her off.

And it didn't No, actually, that was That was a long sentence.

This translator can't do stuff like this.

Obviously, Google translate will have the advantage in translating something like this which, oddly enough, says like men's makeup room instead of men's restroom.

But I think it's really weird that They've written it like that, though.

We're not gonna do the exact same long one with Google.

This actually keeps a record of everything that we've said.

So you could probably just read it right out of here.

When I first went to the United States, I had a hard time speaking English very well, but my friends really wanted to make it.

And every day I studied English with my host family every day.

He was painful, but it was good to be motivated to learn English in the end.

Okay, It got the ending much better than this one, right?

I just skip that entire middle section and kind of their like, pretty much neck and neck right now.

Yeah, Google says the funky camera off right thigh.

This one is free for the first year than it has an offline mode.

Though you could, like purchase WiFi for, like, a day or week or something like that.

And that's kind of a function that if you just need WiFi for the day, right there it is.
